Starter prompt

Copy it, fill in the parts in square brackets, and paste it into the AI assistant your organisation allows.

Below is a [GST notice or circular]. Summarise it in plain English for [audience]. Give: what it is about, which period and returns it refers to, exactly what is being asked, the deadline, the documents we should prepare, and what happens if we do not respond. Quote the paragraph number for each point. If anything is unclear or depends on facts not in the document, list it as a question for our chartered accountant. Do not give a legal opinion. Document: [paste text with identifiers masked].

  1. 1

    Mask identifiers

    Replace GSTIN, PAN, names and addresses with placeholders before pasting. Use only your approved assistant.

  2. 2

    Get the summary

    Run the prompt and check each point against the quoted paragraph in the original.

  3. 3

    Build the checklist

    Ask the assistant to turn the documents list into a checklist with owners and dates.

  4. 4

    Confirm with your CA

    Share the summary and open questions with your chartered accountant before responding.

Watch out. A summary is not advice, and a misread deadline has real cost. Check dates against the original, mask tax identifiers, and have a qualified professional approve the response.

What you end up with

A clear summary, a preparation checklist and questions for your CA.
